Answer:

y = [ 1 ]x + [-5]

Explanation:

If two lines are parallel then their slopes will be the same.

So, y = x + c will be the equation of the straight line which is parallel to y = x - 3. (where c is a constant) ........ (1)

Now, given that equation (1) passes through the point (3,-2).

Therefore, from equation (1), we get

- 2 = 3 + c, ⇒ c = -5

So, the equation of the straight line will be y = x - 5 (Answer)
